The ONLY Way to Defeat Hamas: Lessons From the Front Lines With French Writer Bernard-Henri Lévy

Jonah Platt sits down with world-renowned philosopher, author, and war correspondent Bernard-Henri Lévy (known as BHL) for an insightful conversation about the meaning of Jewish solidarity after October 7th and the collapse of moral reasoning in the West. Drawing on five decades spent on the frontlines of conflicts from Bosnia to Bangladesh, Lévy reflects on the role of the witness, the fragility of democracy, and the shattering implications of October 7th.

The renowned French philosopher explains why Israel remains alone, how to defeat jihadist movements, and why anti-Zionism is the new face of antisemitism. BHL shares firsthand accounts from war zones, including Sudan, Gaza, and his experiences documenting conflicts worldwide.
In this powerful conversation, Bernard-Henri Lévy breaks down:

Bernard-Henri Lévy is one of the world's foremost philosophers, war correspondents, and public intellectuals. Author of 48 books, including "Israel Alone," BHL has documented conflicts from Bosnia to Bangladesh, Afghanistan to Mosul, bearing witness to humanity's darkest moments while championing liberal democracy and Jewish identity.
